Sync Your iPod on Linux

scatboy writes "Tex9 has software for using an iPod (yes, another iPod story) on Linux. It uses a graphical drag-and-drop interface through xtunes, their version of iTunes on Linux. They are looking for beta testers of the xpod software now. I have a dual boot box that has only gone into Windows lately to load my iPod with the betas of XPlay. I held out on making the final purchase of XPlay due to rumours of Apple coming out with their own Windows software at MacWorld New York. This is an even better reason to wait. I am very excited about a chance to measure uptime in months again!"

  1. Fag-intosh Users by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why are all Macintosh users such feeble-minded homosexual poop-chute pounders? I mean, not one of them is smart enough to use a condom when they're going down on each other. And now they want us heterosexual Linux users to take them _seriously_??? I mean, "you cannot be serious" (John Mac-Enroe).

    And another thing, is there anything more pathetic than a Fag-intosh user trying to convince his tiny little knob to stand up at attention when a nice, buxom beauty walks by, so the other guys in his gym class won't beat the living snot out of him because he's a fag?

    The answer is no.

    Why the heck didn't Apple come out with a Windows version in the first place? They have arguably the best MP3 player in the industry - imagine how many people would have bought one if it had come supporting Windows from the outset.

    People aren't gonna buy an iMac just for an iPod. But if they buy an iPod for Windows and LOVE it, they might be better inclined to buy Apple computers in the future. Seems to me Apple went about this the wrong way...

      Apple in good product design, bad business descisions shock!

      This isn't the first time that Apple has produced a fantastic piece of hardware then shot themselves in the foot when it comes to selling it, and I doubt it will be the last. However as long as Mr Jobs is in charge this is unlikely to change any time soon - great ideas, lousy execution.

      You mean besides being ugly, looking out-of-place and violating those few UI standards Windows has? This from a company that prides itself on usability...

    Fine. Insult me. Do you feel better now. Do you feel like more of a man? Do you feel smarter for having insulted someone you do not know anything about?

    I think it makes you seem smarter to insult me. You should do it more often. People will look up to you becuase you know that the best way to look better doesn't involve learning, thinking or self-improvement. You know the best way to look better is to make others look worse.

    This attitude serves (served?) you well in high school, no doubt. You will find that people flock to you in the work place as well as you insult their friends and associates. Women will see the folly of their ways for ever being friends with people who are only good as fodder for your rapier-wit. They will flock to you because you can insult them like no other.

    Please, I want you to insult me again. I don't think you have degraded me low enough that others will listen only to you, yet. I know you need to do it at least once more, to prove that you are a man. So go ahead.

  9. Re:Uptime != Penis Size by (void*) · · Score: 1, Troll
    Why is this insightful? Having a long uptime is not just a measure of penis size. Consider a program that is meant to be run 24/7, like say a sendmail daemon. Having the ability to TEST this is important. To test this means the underlying OS HAS to be MORE STABLE, LESS ERROR-PRONE, than the daemon. And so on, for the the user program that ingteract with the daemon.

    Whether you actually need to run a computer 24/7, is quite different from the QUALITY ISSUE. Morons.
